Fabulous point and one I always hope to get my characters to participate in. As a counterpoint, the love triangle. My least favorite bit of romance storylines. No one can truly love two people, not in that long standing way that a real love needs. Just a thought.

This was a great post. LOVE how you explained it. Printing it out now so I put it in my writer’s notebook and reread.

Comment on Why I ♥ Jim Henson by Susan Adrian

Yes!! So loved the muppets and that sense of wonder.

For the time being at least I’ve tagged Phineas & Ferb as the best, smartest show for this generation. I can (and do) watch them over and over with my daughter, and always find something new to notice or laugh at. They have that fine balance between kids and adults, smart and silly, that the Muppets did for me.

I agree, that our generation was lucky. I love Jim Henson.

Martha, I don’t know if you even remember me from our teaching time at BYU conference, but I thought of you today and happened onto your blog. Your account of 9/11 is wise and wonderful. I’ll be visiting your blog regularly. Can’t imagine how you find time to write it…but I’m so glad you do. Hope we meet again soon.

My email account is eleven years old. So while I also avoided the news today, I did look back to see what my 21 year old self had to say about things. Ten years ago, I also used Aaron Sorkin to help out my description, which is sort of funny. “Look at what we can do”, twisted in a sad and incredulous way from the Sports Night episode “The Quality of Mercy at 29k”. But part of the response I got was ” I kept thinking the date today… september 11, september 11. ’cause they’re going to be talking about it for the rest of our lives. yesterday we had one life and today and tomorrow and every day from here on out we might have a completely different one.”

It really just astounds me that I can remember most of the minutes in a whole day ten years ago, down to having a head cold and reading a funny article in the student newspaper about one-ply TP. I hope the next time I can remember all the minutes in a day, I have a better reason.

You are an excellent blogger! Beautiful post. I am a New Yorker by birth, and my mom still makes New York her home part of the year. It is, as you say, always amazing to think of all the things each new generation grow up with that we didn’t, but hopefully one thing will remain constant- and that’s the power of stories to not only heal and enlighten, but to inspire.

I wish I had had a Mrs. Deeter. Grammer has a habit of kicking me in the butt.

Lovely post. Stories like this make we want to believe for the sheer sake of hope.
